Born and raised in New York, Sibu spent a great deal of his childhood years scribbling and sketching, dreaming and imagining. Being a first-generation child of immigrant parents made the route to a career in the arts a long one, but here he finds himself, many years behind him and still dreaming.

And so just as he carried those dreams with him as he studied literature and art at Stony Brook University, he carries them to this day, illustrating and writing for picture books. Sibu continues to study art at the School of Visual Arts, the Art Students League of New York, and as a proud member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. When he’s not in front of a drawing board, he’s got his camera in tow, shooting while hiking and traveling.
